According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Compound Chocolate Market is accounted for $29.16 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach $45.44 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 7.67% during the forecast period. Real chocolate is made primarily of cocoa mass and cocoa butter, whereas compound chocolate substitutes vegetable oil for cocoa butter and cocoa powder. A genuine type of chocolate is made from a nutritious seed that has been roasted to bring out its flavors. However, the efficacy of chocolate (compound type) lies in technical advantages such as high heat resistance, bloom resistance, and others that make it suitable for consumption in warmer countries and easier to apply.

According to the Cocoa Association of Asia(CAA), Asia’s cocoa grindings fell by almost 10% in the first half of 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019.



Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Increased Demand for Premium and Innovative Confectioneries

Confectionery relies on premiumization in a mature market that is still growing slowly. In the United States, there is a particular interest in artisanal and gourmet-style options, which frequently focus on the origin of cocoa, its content in the finished product, and the use of important additional ingredients and flavors. While consumers are focused on obtaining health benefits, their desire to indulge in novel and flavorful confectioneries remains strong. Consumers continue to place a premium on taste and texture when purchasing chocolate confectionery. Brands continue to experiment with new sweet and savory flavor combinations. For example, in order to create more memorable and engaging sensory experiences for consumers, Barry Callebaut incorporates contrasting creamy and crunchy textures into chocolate products.

Restraint:

Raw material price fluctuations

This market is dependent on the global supply, quality, and cost of raw materials. Price and supply fluctuations in raw materials, such as cocoa, can have a negative impact on the market due to crop disease, climate change, and labor unavailability. Failure to recover higher prices or shortages in the availability or quality of raw materials such as cocoa butter, cocoa powder, sugar, and others could have a negative impact on the market. Significant changes in regulatory controls, legal systems, and customs in the regions also have an impact on product supply and impede market growth.

Opportunity:

Usage and benefits of the cocoa powder

Theobromine, found in cocoa powder, helps reduce inflammation and protects against serious diseases. Because cocoa contains a high concentration of phytonutrients while being low in fat and sugar, the calories obtained from cocoa powder are rich in beneficial compounds. Raw products are often less processed and healthier because they are made from agitated, dried, unroasted cacao beans. Nonetheless, dark chocolate with at least 70% cacao is a good source of antioxidants and minerals, creating a massive market opportunity.

Threat:

Market growth is stifled by volatile cocoa prices and limited cocoa production.

The global Compound Chocolate market expected to hamper growth during the forecast period, Volatile cocoa prices and limited cocoa production stymie market growth. Cacao products, such as unsweetened cocoa powder, nibs, and dark chocolate, are high in minerals. Raw cacao with minimal processing contains less or no added sugar and is higher in antioxidants than fully processed cacao, slowing market growth.

Covid-19 Impact:

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the food and beverage processing industry. The socioeconomic situation has had a negative impact on specific product consumption patterns. Since most countries went into quarantine in 2020 to halt the spread of the virus, demand for real and compound chocolate in the hospitality sector has dropped significantly. The most difficult challenge was gathering cocoa from smallholder farmers and delivering it to cocoa exporters and cocoa processors for chocolate production. Transportation constraints and border closures exacerbated the situation. As a result, chocolate manufacturers faced a shortage of raw materials, affecting their sales. For example, due to the pandemic, Barry Callebaut AG, a leading manufacturer of premium chocolate, reported a slowdown in the first six months of fiscal 2020.

The dark chocolate segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The dark chocolate segment is expected to have a lucrative growth over the forecast period. Due to rising demand for products with dark chocolate's health benefits, the dark chocolate segment is expected to hold a significant share of the market in the coming years. It aids in the management of insulin and blood pressure, boosts the immune system, and inhibits the growth of cancer cells. Furthermore, rising spending on dark chocolate products is expected to fuel segment market growth.

The Confectionery segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

Confectionery segment is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. Due to its numerous health benefits, chocolate is the most popular confectionery item in the world, and many companies are currently developing sugar-free and natural chocolate products for health-conscious city dwellers. Furthermore, rising confectionery industry demand is driving market segment expansion.

Region with highest share:

The North America region market is estimated to witness a highest share of the global Compound Chocolate market during the forecast period Compound chocolate demand in North America is expected to grow, supported by rising demand for premium chocolate and confectionery items. Sugar-free, organic, and dark chocolate consumption is increasing as people become more interested in living healthy lifestyles. Compound chocolate's properties, such as its low price compared to pure cocoa-based chocolates and ability to harden without tempering, make it an ideal choice for food manufacturers in a variety of industries, including bakery, confectionery, ice cream, and frozen desserts. Milk chocolate, along with other flavors, has a sizable market share in the North American compound chocolate market. Companies are developing long-term solutions for sourcing and using cocoa butter substitutes or cocoa butter equivalents in confectionery products.

Region with highest CAGR:

Middle East and Africa region is estimated to witness a highest CAGR share, due to the increased product accessibility in local retail stores is responsible for this expansion. Furthermore, owing to favorable government initiatives like tax breaks for chocolate makers and grinders, the area should have greater access to goods. One more aspect promoting regional development is the rising demand for artisanal chocolates. The region's chocolate sales are also anticipated to increase as a result of a number of important factors, including growing consumer awareness, product innovation, middle-class consumers' increasing disposable incomes, and manufacturers' expansion of their distribution networks.
